Status Updates From Старик и море

Neredeyse kitap boyunca bırak gitsin bırak gitsin diye düşünüp durdum.

Manolin'in ayağını tutarak uyanmasını bekledikten sonra kayığı ile açıldığı yere kadar olan kısım gözlerimin dolmasına neden oldu, kimle konuşsam bu kitabı beğenmediğini söylüyor ama beni inanılmaz içine çekti.

“Mas o homem não foi feito para a derrota. Um homem pode ser destruído, mas nunca derrotado.”

Interessanto

"Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is." 🖤

"It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes, you are ready."

Yes.

The dialogue between the old man and the boy is hard to distinguish between - especially when neither of them speak like a human being

"You should have brought many things, he thought. But you did not bring them, old man. Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.
'You give me much good counsel,' he said aloud. 'I'm tired of it.'"

this man is too funny.

“I am a strange old man.” PERIOD.🗣️

my copy doesn’t even have page numbers 😭😭

Tyckte boken var väldigt fin och var kul att testa läsa en klassiker! Kanske inte den mest spännande boken jämfört med nya böcker men tyckte ändå att det var lätt att komma in i och att man fastnade även om den var seg emellanåt, men väldigt fint slut som jag blev rörd av! Den är också bara 150 sidor lång så absolut värd om man vill testa läsa en klassiker

I don’t know if it’s worth continuing, quite boring right now

Man is lucky. He does not have to kill the stars.

Vaya fortaleza mental del señor

How can a short book be so painfully long

This book helped him achieve a Nobel Literature Prize?
The writing style is jarring to start, but I'll soldier through.

"If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy," he said aloud. "But since I am not crazy, I do not care."

Denso pra kralho
Puta q priu wu não aguento mais ouvir esse homem falar “and”
O livro tem mais coisa profunda, disso tenho certeza

czytalam na lekcjach w szkole i o dziwo to opowiadanie nie jest takie zle, styl pisania autora jest nawet mi pasuje. Nie spodziewalam sie tutaj przeklenstw wiec mialam niezlego jumpscare'a kiedy czytam sobie na geografii a tam nagle "Ty kurwo" xD

So far, I don't love his writing style

"You're my alarm clock," the boy said.
"Age is my alarm clock," the old man said. "Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?"
